Thu 29-Jun-89: Updates tsutlc13.arc -> tsutlc14.arc and tsutb14.arc -> tsutlb15.arc. It is a (well?-)known fact that MsDos DIR command gives the exact size of a file, not the space actually allocated to it. The latter is (usually) bigger since space is allocated in clusters of bytes. The DIRF.EXE recursive directory utility in the updated third utility collection tsutlc14.arc now has a switch to show not only the file sizes, but the allocations as well. The other utilities in the updated tsutlc14.arc still are DIRINFO.EXE directory information of a disk, DOUBLES.EXE find double file names on a disk, HIDDEN.EXE find all hidden files on disk, READONLY.EXE find all readonly files on disk, SPLIT.EXE split a file into pieces, and ZEROFILE.EXE find all empty files on disk. The other program upgraded in tsutlc14.arc is DOUBLES.EXE where a rare memory allocation error has been amended. I have also updated the second utility collection to be tsutlb15.arc, but here the changes are minor, so if you already have tsutlb14.arc don't bother. Wed 28-Jun-89: Added radiofin.inf by Jari Perkiomaki. This text file gives shortwave listening information about Finland. Jari has promised to keep the information up to date. If you have any queries concerning this particular file, please direct these questions to the email address given in radiofin.inf. Sun 25-Jun-89: Updated the first utility package to be tsutil26.arc. Among the updated utilities are directory comparison programs dirs.exe and dird.exe, grapinfo.exe detecting graphics hardware, scopy.bat for copying when only a single diskdrive is available, and stack.exe telling the free available memory. In addition the package still contains date utilities day.exe, dtetim.exe, and so on. There is also the timelog.exe utility for logging program usage, and sysinfo for obtaining information about your computer. The previous version, tsutil25.arc, appeared in spring in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
